Courts Speed up Ways to Deal With IPRs Beijing's local courts are speeding up their efforts to handle foreignrelated intellectual property rights (IPR) cases.
"The five intellectual property tribunals in Beijing will be fully prepared to meet the challenges led by China's entry to the World Trade Organization," vowed Cheng Yongshun, deputy presiding judge from the IPR division of Beijing's Higher People's Court, in a recent report. Cheng is one of Beijing's 50 judges who specialize in IPR cases.
Beijing's Higher People's Court, two intermediate people's courts and two grass-roots courts in the Haidian and Chaoyang districts, have special IPR divisions.
The local courts accepted 35 foreign-related IPR cases in 2000, setting a new record, Cheng said.
Judges from Beijing's IPR tribunals are planning to gather later this month for a four-day workshop on international IPR standards and legal interpretations. The conference is an effort to solve the legal problems rising from the IPR cases.
Almost half of the 50 IPRjudges have been sent abroad to receive training and communicate with their foreign counterparts. More judges are expected to go to Germany and France next month for a three-month training course.
Foreign IPR cases are becoming more common. One pending now pits a retired university teacher and a Dalian-based technology company against several major mobile phone producers including Motorola, Ericsson and Alcatel in a dispute over infringement of patent rights. No judgment has been rendered.
"More Chinese companies and individuals are starting to act as plaintiffs in foreign-related IPR cases and ask for legal protection instead of always being the defendants," Cheng said.
Cheng also stressed that foreign-related IPR cases now encompass everything from software piracy to patent infringement cases.
Beijing's courts settled 734 IPR cases in 2000, 15.3 percent ofthe nationwide total. The amount in the first quarter reached 212, up 283 percent from the same period last year.

Editorial China's IP system has come a long way in a short time. Less than 20 years ago, the country didn't have an IP system to speak of. Between then and now, and in particular in the last 18 months, it has put in place a set of modem of IP laws and procedures which bear comparison to anything else in place around the world. Whatever motivation the authorities have had for doing so, WTO membership or the USTR's Special 301 reviews, for example, the fact is they have done it.
Now it is up to IP owners to make use of these new laws and regulations to protect and exploit their rights. Of course, they cannot do this alone. They have to be sure of the commitment of the authorities to help them to do this. And th~y need to rely on the experience of China IP specialists who have spent many years studying and working on IP issues there.
In this context, MIP's China IP Focus provides up-to-date infonnation on the most important developments in China recently and points to whatlP owners need to do to secure their rights in the future.
Xu Chao, deputy director-general of the National Copyright Administration in Beijing, speaks to us about the plans for copyright next year. Joe Simone, a vice-chairman of the Quality Brands Protection Committee, tells us of the group's priorities in 2003 and beyond. And Yongshun Cheng, deputy chief judge of the Beijing High Court No 3 (Intellectual Property) Tribunal explains what relief is available through taking your IP case to court in China.
In the section on practice developments, some of the leading China IP specialists write on issues such as law reform, the virtues of administrative enforcement, the status of well-known marks and how litigation has become an attractive option for IP owners.
I hope you will find MIP's China IP Focus a useful tool and one which you will refer to often. We hope to make it an annual publication. If there is
